I love this movie so much

Strong and Moving!

Best movie ever!

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

HIJACKED is a bizarrely low-rated straight-to-video action vehicle for Randy Couture, the former wrestler who kicked up a storm as one of the team in the EXPENDABLES trilogy. Here he goes it alone as a special agent who finds himself up against a plane full of hijackers and must exact some two-fisted justice to take them down. This is a very low rent production which nonetheless offers a series of hard-knuckle fights to keep your mind off the endless problems, not least of which is the film's failure to convince the viewer that the action really is taking place inside an extensive aircraft. There are cameos from two British hardmen, Craig Fairbrass and Vinnie Jones, neither of whom play the bad guy for once. Dominic Purcell also has fun as a moustache-sporting ally who gets to beat up on a few goons. This is far from a masterpiece, but it's an easy enough watch for undemanding action fans.

A special agent's plans to reconcile with his ex-fiancé are ruined when she boards a private jet that is targeted by hijackers working for the same crime lord that he is chasing. I love B- Movies a lot and i gave high scores to some movies that many people found terrible but i didn't and this film is one of them where i will truly agree with them this film is awful and terrible at the same time i could care less about Randy Couture's character which by the way is a terrible actor he is good in The Expendables Movies somehow but here? he is wasted the same goes for Dominic Purcell and even Vinnie Jones and if you really wanna give it a shot? Don't go watch Skin Trade or Dark Angel or even Batman & Robin that film had better acting and it was still pretty dumb.

Where do I begin? Vinnie Jones (not known for his breadth of acting skills) must have sighed with relief as he got killed off early in the film, avoiding the cringing embarrassment that was to follow. The script, acting and plot were totally leaden. Even the pilots were unconvincing as they went about their checks. Also, what about the bullets that were being sprayed around at 37,000 feet? Has anyone heard of pressurised cabins? Fortunately the set was so unconvincing that at no time did I think they were airborne (loved the plastic plane flying through the air a la "Thunderbirds").I have to admit that I gave up half way through - life is too short to waste on this film when there is wet paint to watch dry or encyclopedias to read....

The whole approach to this movie took me back to the '80's, an era when the genre was at an all time height and the story didn't seemed to matter all that much. The era of big, dumb, overblown action movies, in which a lot of classics got made but even more absolutely horrible movies. I'm sad to say that this is also an absolutely horrible movie, that does some absolutely stupid things.First of all, for most of the time I had absolutely no idea what was going. About halfway in it, I still had no idea who all these people on the plane were and why they were on it and what the hijackers wanted exactly. And it's not done in a mysterious thriller type of way but all done in a clearly incapable and lazy way. The storytelling is just absolutely horrible at times and the way the entire movie flows and develops certain story elements are done in an atrocious way!Every time I thought that the movie would start to become potential good and interesting it would cut off and go to something completely different. You could say that the movie is being way too short and should had taken its time with some of its story- and character development. Yes, it sounds strange but I wanted this awful movie to be longer, so some things could had developed into something potentially good and more interesting maybe.The editing makes the movie all the more worse at times. I don't know but it at times feels as if entire sequences were missing and it at times makes some sudden jumps. It will confuse you and lets some sudden developments and scenes come across as incredibly stupid.And I also can't really say that this is an action filled movie. There are a couple of good old fashioned fist fights and some weapons get fired but overall its just nothing tense or spectacular to watch. There is of course only so much you can do with its premise and settings but simple fact is that there are plenty of other genre movies around that do a great job with its concept of a plane being hijacked in midair, so it really shouldn't be an excuse for this movie.And how are the likes of Randy Couture, Dominic Purcell and Vinnie Jones in this? Absolutely awful, though I feel you can't blame any of them really. When given the right material, all of them still could be some decent action hero stars.It's just as bad as any other dumb, low budget, action flick but this movie does some very stupid and incompetent stuff as well, making this movie worse to watch than just the average genre attempt.3/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
